What to do if the digital display on my Schumacher SC-8010A SpeedCharge Battery Charger keeps flashing?
If the digital display on your Schumacher Battery Charger flashes before the battery is fully charged, the incorrect battery type may have been selected, or the battery did not reach full charge within 24 hours.

Then, select the desired rate (SMALL or REGULAR BATTERY) and battery type again, if necessary.
